16. Regulatory programs controlling profileration during Drosophila nervous system development
Sammanfattning : The central nervous system (CNS) is the most complex organ in the body, responsible for complex functions, including thinking, reasoning and memory. The CNS contains cells of many different types, often generated in vast numbers. LÄS MER
17. Effects of domestication related genes on behaviour, physiology and gene expression in chickens
Sammanfattning : Domestication, the process when animals adapt to captivity, tends to modify a whole array of traits towards what has been termed “the domesticated phenotype”, where the domesticated animal differs from its wild ancestor in morphology, physiology, development and behaviour. Physiological traits and behaviours are controlled by genes. LÄS MER
18. Long Noncoding RNA Mediated Regulation of Imprinted Genes
Sammanfattning : Genomic imprinting is an epigenetic phenomenon that causes a subset of mammalian genes to be expressed from only one allele in a parent-of-origin manner. The defects in the imprinting regulation result in disorders that affect development, growth and metabolism. LÄS MER
19. Stochastic modelling and analysis of early mouse development
Sammanfattning : The aim of this thesis is to model and describe dynamical events for biological cells using statistical and mathematical tools. The thesis includes five papers that all relate to stochastic modelling of cells. LÄS MER
20. Finding fitness : empirical and theoretical explorations of inferring fitness effects from population-level SNP data
Sammanfattning : The distribution of fitness effects (DFE) describes the likelihood that a new mutation has a specific effect on the fitness of an individual in a given population. The shape of the DFE is a result of several factors such as population size, mating system and selective environment, and can in turn influence the evolutionary potential of a species. LÄS MER
